Each year a new action plan is required for students with asthma, life threatening food allergy, seizures, diabetes, migraines, or any other chronic medical diagnoses. Please provide these to your building’s nurse as soon as possible. 

Student medications need to be in an original box with a current prescription label. A completed medication permission slip is required in addition to the action plan before the nurse can give your child medication at school. If your child is prescribed a controlled medication that needs to be taken in the middle of the school day, a parent/guardian is required to hand deliver the medication to the school nurse. **Please note that routine AM medications should be administered at home prior to the student’s school day.

HELP US NOT WASTE FOOD!  If your student will be absent on a day for which a school lunch has been preordered (regardless of financial status), please notify Mrs. Bigham by 8:00 a.m. on the day of the absence so the meal can be canceled and credited back to your student’s Lunch Works account. Absence notifications received after the school day has begun cannot be credited.

Grab-and-go breakfast is available to all students at NO COST upon arrival at school. Breakfast does not require preordering, and students may choose to pick up a meal before proceeding to their classroom.

The intermediate school has tons of jackets, sweatshirts, hats, gloves, sweaters, and water bottles waiting for their owners to pick them up. Please encourage your student to take a look for missing items before the end of day April 1st. All items left will be donated to the school pantry or Goodwill after dismissal.
